"No dealer contact info posted at
CarGurus, only the town the car was in.
Town was small, so we tracked it down.
Then the price was listed only as
negotiable, but the salesman gave us
their price when we arrived. Negotiated
it down $1400 and made a handshake
deal that day, agreeing to meet the next
morning to do paperwork, pay for it, etc.
But when we arrived we found other
customers checking it out, one of them
sitting in it and poking around. A
different salesman had given them a
starting price $1000 lower than we were
given. Still our agreed upon price was
lower than that, so we got the deal done
after booting the other folks out and
locking the car. Later we found that the
dealer had taken the car for a NC safety
inspection two days after getting it as a
trade-in. It failed inspection for bad
brakes, but the dealer put it on their lot
anyway and sold it to us knowing we
were driving it over 800 miles home. We
made it safely, but now we're looking at
several hundred more for a brake job.
Maybe that's the nature of buying an "as
is, where is, no warranty" used car, but I
would have thought a large Ford dealer
might have taken care of the brakes
before selling it, and they could have
been a little more coordinated with
pricing and setting the car aside once
they agree to a sale, not to mention
putting enough contact info in the
posting so we didn't have to play
detective to find it. In spite of all the
shortcomings, we got a decent car at a
fair price if you don't factor in the brake
job. And we found the sales staff to be
easy to work with, friendly, and very
accommodating in issuing a temporary
tag for out of state transport, FedEx'ing
the title after release by a lienholding
bank, etc. I would recommend this
dealer, but keep in mind you're still
buying a used car, so proceed
cautiously and let the buyer beware."

"I went to this dealer on 2 different
Saturday's to try and buy a car.
The guy that was there was not
qualified to do any loans and had
no idea what he was doing. The
man that does the loans was not
there and it seemed to me they
were only interested in selling cars
for cash. "
